    I have the 6X. Used it recently and got absolutely pounded with rain at 9600 feet in the mountains. No leaking through the walls. We did, however, end up with water under the tent due to being in uneven & unlevel ground (basically, we pitched over a puddle). But that stayed outside. And the tent easily withstood 45 mph (measured) wind gusts. We were completely staked out, and eventually I opted to use the Jeep as a wind block. We did not have the stove with us, but our two small dogs enjoyed it!

      That's amazing to hear about your experience with the Pomoly Dome X6! It's great to know that it held up well in heavy rain and strong winds. As for the water under the tent, pitching on uneven ground can be a challenge sometimes. Thanks for sharing your feedback! By the way, have you ever considered having a reliable power source during your camping trips? The Segway Portable Poweation Cube Series seems like a great option for outdoor enthusiasts like us. It has a massive capacity, fast recharging, and comprehensive protections. Just thought I'd share this recommendation with you! Happy camping and stay safe out there!

    I've been using pomoly for two years and have had good luck. We bought the 6x for the scouts group and the first thing we changed was buying a bigger tarp cover. Stopped a lot of issues for us plus gave us a cover for at least one door. Tents leak over time anyway, it's just their nature, so always have tape and sealant helps. So everone have a nice Holiday and see you next year.

    • @Whiskyncigars

    It’s a shame that a company doesn’t take its reputation more seriously, when it’s revenue depends on the tight nit outdoor community. Someone like me it’s going to drop $600 on tent and they would say “I’m not who this tent marketed for”. No, I’m exactly who they want this tent for. A person who wants to get outdoors, take his family, and have a great experience. Luke, your channel continues to inspire me to get outside, and all of the information you share, helps me make informed decisions, so my journey won’t be a disaster and a waste of money.
    Thank you. Strength an Honor…

    I didn’t know it leaked, I don’t believe you mentioned this in a previous video. At that time I contacted pomoly if they had a stove jack that wasn’t directly in the path of the door. The response received was a couple stoves offered for purchase, completely not answering my question. Now that I know it also leaks, 700 dollars for this is to much , especially without a built in floor. What a shame, I like the looks of it and set up time doesn’t bother me since I camp a week or so at a time.

    • @Nonchillante
      @Nonchillante 9 месяцев назад

      Luke said it wasn't a deal breaker, minor leaks towards the bottom and easily fixed with seam tape. Sucks it leaks, but the tent is massive and some spots can be easily missed when its being seam taped by the manufacturer.

      @@Nonchillante Contrary to what Luke says, for me this is a major problem. Can you imagine manually seam sealing a tent of this size ? That's a huge job; especially if it's to correct a defect that shouldn't exist in the first place. Seam sealing a one person tent is one thing, doing the same job on a huge two-meter-high tent is quite another.

    I know I keep beating a dead horse on this one. But the Cabelas Alaskan Gulde 6-man is the go too for dome tents. Its heavy, its big but it is a fortress that will stand up to just about anything. Every problem that you bring up in this review is not a problem with the Alaskan Guide. A full floor so no bugs. Add the floor liner and it is easy to keep clean. Two layers so water pooling is not a problem. More mesh panels that on this tent without the rain fly for summer use. With the rain fly about the same mesh areas as you have here. I have had mine out in downpours with a river running under it, NOT A DROP gets in. To see that tent in a side by side with this one would showoff how good the Alaskan Guide is. It comes in a four, six, and eight-man version. Yes a few more dollars but we all know the old saying. You Get What You Pay For!

    • @SnowyAspenHills
      @SnowyAspenHills 9 месяцев назад +2

      I have looked up the Cabelas tent and it looks good. The two tent may look similar but the Cabelas is inner pitch first which I personally don’t like and it’s not a hot tent. The vestibule is cool though.

    • @joedunbarjr
      @joedunbarjr 9 месяцев назад +5

      @hypo345 You are one hundred percent correct. This is not a hot tent. With the full cover, rain fly. I find that a Buddy heater works very well in colder weather. The fact that you must put up the inner first is a drawback. But having a full floor is a good trade-off. I usually pack a composite palette and use the vestibule as a dog house. And like I said, this thing is a fortress. It will handle very heavy rain and a snow load no problem. Every tent has its positives and negative. Anyone looking for a dome tent would be a fool not to consider this one. Also, I would love Luke to do a side by side comparison of these two tents. Thank you for your response. You bring up some very good points.

    • @lyman135
      @lyman135 9 месяцев назад +1

      The only problem I see with the Alaskan Guide tent now is that they discontinued the aluminum pole version, and only offer the fiberglass pole version now. Kind of removed a lot of the heavy durability for the frame. I dont understand why they would do that whem the whole point of the tent is that its supposed to be a fortress.

    • @joedunbarjr
      @joedunbarjr 9 месяцев назад +4

      @lyman135 I am not sure where you get your information. I just went to my computer and to Cabela's website. It clearly shows that the Alaskan Guide 6-Person Tent comes with the 7001 aluminum poles. Please double-check your information before making incorrect comments. Thanks

  • @gregparrott
    @gregparrott 9 месяцев назад +1

    Thanks for posting. I bought the X6 back at Thanksgiving, when they offered a special sale price. Thanks for the warning about water/snow pooling. I will try to devise an aid to minimize it (e.g. an inflatable pillow to create a bump where there currently is a divot). The only complaint I have so far is the difficulty in setup due to pole length, heavy weight, AND ESPECIALLY, non adjustable straps where the pole ends connect to grommets on those straps. When I viewed a video of the 'X4' dome, I saw that unlike the X6, the X4 has ADJUSTABLE straps. This makes setup so much easier. So, I fabricated 6 long straps, each with extra grommets along their length. By initially connecting the poles to grommets located further away from the tent, it made setup MUCH easier. Once all 6 poles have been inserted into the distant grommets, I can then move each pole end close to, or into the tent's original (non adjustable) connection grommets. I complained to Pomoly about this difference between the X4 versus X6 and suggested they add the same adjustability to the X6.
    P.S. I bought Pomoly's 'Hex' tent several years ago, along with a titanium stove. While I've seen complaints about their service, their service to me, both several years ago, as well as with regards to the X6 - questions/complaints I had about setup, was good.

      A few episodes ago, Luke expressed his intention to help the American outdoor industry. The latest episodes of this channel tend to confirm my fears. Luke's opinions seem to become very friendly when it comes to pointing out defects in equipment from American brands. It's a shame, because we seem to be losing the very essence of this channel: impartiality.
      For me, this channel has lost its appeal. Sad.

      I agree. This channel is not what it once was. It’s a fact of life that everything changes and nothing stays the same but it seems as if this channel has changed for the worse. It has migrated toward click baiting titles and over dramatized situations. I understand why Luke is doing this. More views equals more money and I realize he is doing this for a living now. However, that doesn’t change the fact that it has degraded the channel in my eyes. Like you said, the channel has lost its appeal and has lost that special characteristic that set it aside from other channels and made it so popular.

    So I’m surprised the summer version uses mesh screening as well as the winter. I know you said in a previous video a while back mesh is no good as you get very little to no ventilation through mesh. I bought a small tent last summer based on that and I’m glad I did. Got a nice breeze through screen doors and windows.

Love floor detachable as camp with dogs and sometimes don’t want a floor. Company has treated me well and helped me choose this tent for my camping adventures. Only camped in it twice but will be more trips out soon. Think will have another tarp and use as an apron off a tent door and cover the top as think will pool in center. Think any material will stretch there need one that stretches really tight so can run off instead of pool. Or fastened differently to help keep tight

    I would try using a larger/ small tarp for the rain fly, then place a beach ball on top of the roof, cover with stated fly option, problem fixed for heavy wet snow, also a large beach ball is perfect if you don't completely blow it up, this will give you more surface area on the tent roof as well as the fly and will give more support for the load. I've played around with what would be the best air pressure and found it's best to just fill it up 3/4 full of air and that is a good starting point. Merry Christmas everyone!!!

  • @JohnDoe-bw7bq
    @JohnDoe-bw7bq 9 месяцев назад +1

    It's going to trap snow in the triangular spots. A fly over the top reaching to the ground would help that, but the guy lines will become a small issue. Condensation can be cured easily enough by cranking up the heat with the door open just a bit...

    I wonder if it would be nice to have a full sized fly for it, with vestibule at the doors. That would smooth out those pockets due to the frame and allow water and snow to slide off easier. Maybe make it out of a heavier nylon instead of silnylon. When you get to that size of a tent, weight is only a partial concern.

    I like this tent because it has no built in floor, and it has three doors plus a stove jack. I have a Pomoly titanium wood stove and I agree that Pomoly is poor with communications. Very poor.
    I “do” appreciate your review; that’s awesome. Thank you very much!

    Hi Luke, I don't see a review on the Russian Bear Tent. I have the UP-5 so if you are up in Ontario, Canada, let me know and we can camp it for a weekend. It's a great tent, as it should be for it's price. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! All the best!

    This tent is way more similar to the nortent gamme 6. And you should compare the two for us

    Surprised to see no polyester version. That’d take care of the sagging. Since it’s a car camping tent, it does not have to be lightweight.
    I like the idea of it. One for solo winter camping and one to take my three person family.
    And yes, 6-person tent is good enough size for three actual people to enjoy holiday.

    The sagging fly issue was solved by a foam doughnut on my North Face ECWT. The foam disc was 10' wide and 4 inches high and was located at the top of the tent between the two fabrics. It simple elevated the fly in the middle to prevent ponding. A simple fix?

    I love the color of that tent, and it IS massive. But I ain't sleeping in ANY tent that does not have a sewn in floor. Here in the South, there are just too many things that crawl which can get in that tent. Gotta have a floor. Give me the one with the bath tub floor.

    This is a fantastic and well thought out comprehensive review of this Tent. But, Considering the tent is designed for winter camping a waterproof rating of 3,000mm Hydrostatic Head is very poor for a tent that costs so much money. It’s not surprising to see that small leak which is a shame because otherwise it’s a fantastic tent and has so much going for it.

  • @haroldmilroy4489
    @haroldmilroy4489 9 месяцев назад

    I recently purchased a canvas teepee tent from Pomoly. There were zero instructions. I was unable to set it up as the pop pins that joined the centre pole didn’t “click” out and hold the pole sections together because the holes were too small. I contacted Pomoly and received zero help. I ended up fixing the problem by drilling the holes a bit larger which allowed the pin to “pop up” and hold it together. That said Luke I would suggest Pomoly’s track record is still poor and I won’t deal with them again. I have had excellent service from Danchel Outdoors and that’s where I go in the future.

    Luke, another great review. I've been considering a canvas tent (Springbar or Kodiak) for car/truck camping. I know that Springbar offers tent models that are hot- tent ready. Do you or your followers have any experience with canvas tents? If so, what are your thoughts? Thanks! Keep up the great work and very best wishes!

    This looks alot like the Nortent Gamme 6.
    Thw gamme6 however looks to have selected a beter pole orientation to allow the bulk of snow load to shed off.
    I was super interested in that tent when I first got a hot tent, however i could definitely not afford one lol
    I eventually went with the Pomoly Hex tipi to save spme dough. Definitely would preffer a free standing dome type tent but the hex works forbme for now.
    Id be interested in seeing a real review of the Nortent Gamme, i think the only video i found at the time was from a fellow who was also selling them (the Canadian prepper guy) and it wasnt even really a review if i recall, rather he just used it in a video.
    Thanks for keeping up the great unbiased videos. Maybe next season you'll empty your wallet for a nortent lol
    It definitely seems like a great product and i know youd find sny issues if there were any to find.

    Bought the POMOLY Circle 6. It is huge, but does not set up on uneven ground very well. Also, stakes aren’t long enough for snow. Wish i would have bought dome. Circle 6 has two doors side by side and in back of stove. Not really safe as there is no way to escape if fire should start on stove side of tent.
    Also. It would be nice if tents came in white or tan. The color of this tents can’t possibly any kind of sunset yellow unless you live in smoggiest place on earth.

    @TheKimjoh560 Месяц назад

    Thanks for the video. I was really curious about this tent. To be honest I dont get this format at all. If you want a massive hot tent a Lavvu appears to be better in every single way. It pitches in no time, packs easily, its less complicated, lighter, often cheaper and it and much easier to dry out. They are also aloy more water reaistant than the rating suggests because of the shape. On the other hand if you dont mind the size and weight. Why not just get one of those glamping style tunnel tents and put a stove jack in it?
